Removal of fair pay and safe workplaces rule imminent: GSA issues interim memorandum

Rulemaking is underway to amend the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to remove the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Final Rule, the General Services Administration (GSA) has said in guidance to federal agencies instructing them not to wait for the formal rescission to ensure certain contract clauses are not in new or existing government contracts and solicitations.

The GSA’s “Class Deviation from the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to remove the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces final rule (FAR Case 2014-025)” implements and provides guidance to federal agencies and contracting officers regarding Executive Order 13782, “Removal of the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Final Rule,” signed by President Donald Trump on March, 27, 2017.
